[crying] ahhhhhhhhhh! the price you see is the price you pay, unlike cable. a dramatic decision this

afternoon regarding the president's desireto reinstate the travel ban from his executive order. a three judge panel at the 9th circuit court of appeals has unanamouslydecided ánotá to reinstate the governement's travel ban. steve aveson has been closely following the story and joins us now from the kron4 newsroom with the latest. grant, catherine, a lower court ruling in washington statehad suspended the temporary ban. the justice department argued that theban was a lawful exercise of the president's authority who percieved the country was at imminent risk of terror attack from people traveling toand from 7 mostly muslim countries. but in a 29 page opinion, this panel disagreed. in sharing this opinion the three judge panel noted thatthere are compelling public interests on both sides of this argumentsaying, " on the one hand, the public has a powerful interest in national

security and in the ability of an elected president to enact policies. and onthe other hand, the public also has an interest in the free flow of travel,in avoiding the separation of families and in freedom from discrimination." in their opinion the judges went on to say the government presented noevidence to " explain the urgent need for president trumps executive orderto take effect immediately."the initial ban did in fact cause confusion and upset to travellers and thosecharged with enforcing the law. the judges also went on to say the government " did not present evidence that failure to reinstatethe ban would cause irreparable injury to the country." this is not the final act, but just the next scene in the temporary immigration travel ban drama. the immediate outcome is that the free flow of travel between the united states and the 7 restricted countries will continue. that willproceed with the same kind of already

strong vetting that had been enforced under the obama administration.however the trump administration want's to develop something the call extreme vetting. the administration can now ask for a full review by the entire 9th circuit court or take their case directly to the supreme court. it didn't take long for reaction from the white house with president trump to personally tweeting this response to the decision saying, " see you in court, the security of our nation is at stake." and in response to the president's tweet washington state governor jay inslee had this to say: "mr. president, we just saw you in court, and we beat you." washington state gov. jay inslee what exactly happens may have a less to do with tweets and more to dowith legal counsel from the justice department. today is the first day on thejob for attorney general jeff sessions and he may have input into the presidentsnext move. meanwhile if you want to better understand todays decision you canreview the

seen this, there is a little more to be worried about" vittimberga says the mudslide happened tuesday morning at about 9:30am"i was in the bathroom right over here and i heard what sounded like a very loud thunder storm, then i came out into the room and thought maybe it was a hail storm and then i saw the wall start to come toward me"the mudslide eventually stopped but not before breaching the rear wall of his office.

appeals has refused to reinstate president trump's travel ban. the ruiling came down just a couple of hours ago.. but we need to be clear... this story is not over. grant lodes is here to explain what is next... because there are several things that could happen. this issue is definitely not over. one look at what president trump tweeted a short time ago...right after today's decision was announced... and you get the idea. "see you in court, the security of our nation is at stake!" says the president... notice that is in all caps... which... is the online equivalent of shouting. the 9th circuit court sided with a federal judge in washington state. in a unanimous 3-0 ruling, it refused to reinstate the travel ban that would prohibit people from seven mostly muslim countries from entering the united states. washington state and minnesota are the main plaintiffs in the case. but several other states including california

have filed legal briefs supporting them... saying it discriminates against muslims and hurts universities and business...among other things. we just heard from washington state's attorney general a short time ago. the department of justice has argued the executive order is within president trump's power to act on national security risks. you can view the entire ruling on our website, kron four dot com. now the white house can appeal and ask for a hearing before the entire ninth circuit court. it can also

try to take the case to the u-s supreme court. so we could see a lot more legal maneuvering before this is settled. pam. this just came in to the kron four newsroom. some bart officials are now calling for a sanctuary in- transit policy... this move would limit the collaboration between bart police and federal agencies... director lateefah simon says, more than 500- thousand people who entered the country illegally ... have made the bay area their home.. she says, many of those people use bart to get to and from school or work ... and bart does not want to undermine the trust between bart police and the communities they serve. we have more coverage of today's storm. quite a sight in the north bay... see how all this rain has turned one spot into a bit of tourist attraction. and a new picture of the troubles at one of california's largest reservoirs. the growing hole in a spillway... and what is going to be done to fix it. plus the north bay
